LLANDUDNO has been visited by RHS Wales in Bloom judges as the town goes for gold for the sixth time in a row.

Llandudno in Bloom showcased its impressive flower displays from the Great Orme to West Shore and spoke to judges about ongoing community and environmental work during their visit to the town on Thursday.

The group has entered the coastal over 12,000 population category and has won a gold award every year since 2015. The competition could not take place last year due to coronavirus restrictions.

Judges John Woods and Sue-Marie Roberts were taken on a tour of the town to see the group’s work. This included the Great Orme, St Tudno’s Church, Happy Valley, West Shore, Haulfre Gardens, The Pier, The Promenade, Queen’s Park and Blind Veterans UK.

Louise Emery, chairman of Llandudno in Bloom, said: “It’s been a delighted to welcome the Wales in Bloom judges to Llandudno today in this fantastic weather.

“They have seen the best the town can offer and we have our fingers crossed that we have done enough to impress the judges and achieve a gold award once again.”

The town’s entry is administered by the Llandudno in Bloom Committee which is made up of representatives from businesses, hospitality sector, community and voluntary groups in partnership with Llandudno Town Council and Conwy County Borough Council.

Finalists are put forward to the national final based on their progress regionally and will be scored by a team of RHS national judges in July with the result revealed in September.
